Fortunate dad. Fond of good books, nice people. And science.
My daughter: “Who’s your favorite player on the #Bears?”
Me: “Historically? Walter Payton.”
Her: “What about currently?”
Me: “I don’t know, maybe Caleb Williams or Rome Odunze?”
Her: “Rome Doomsday???”
And now that’s his name.

This is an excellent breakdown from @asharangappa.bsky.social
I wrote up my analysis of what Ross's movements and actions reveal about whether or not he had a "reasonable belief that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury" (the legal standard). I list 7 crucial moments that suggest he did not. asharangappa.substack.com/p/friday-rou...

Great read from @anildash.com
Since ChatGPT came out in late 2022, over *half a million* tech workers have been laid off. That fact, and their voices, aren't really shaping the conversation about AI, and what "AI" really means in culture. So I started to get into it: www.anildash.com/2026/01/06/5...

Interesting (and, I think, correct) analogy. Plus: new vocabulary word, unlocked 🤣
An analogue I’ve noticed between fundamentalist scriptural exegesis and jurispudential originalism as actually practiced in the wild: Both enable a kind of ventriloquism by assuming univocality in the texts they purport to interpret.

Never even entertained the thought I might someday cease to be a Bears fan. A move to Indiana would do it.

This is the way.
So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.
3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.
Hegseth: "As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace and those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."

I hate both of these teams but I hate one of them just a little bit more. (Very unsettling to be rooting for the Cowboys)

Can’t wait to grab another three points
In case anyone was curious, the Bears are 23-3 since 2008 when intercepting at least 3 passes in a game.

Jesus loved them so much, almost to the point of protecting them.
Fox News' Trey Gowdy: "The only thing that can give us any modicum of peace at all is those two children are with the person who loved them the very most, the person who created them, that being Jesus. That is the only thing that can possibly give parents in the future any modicum of peace."

.@minakimes.bsky.social Some awesome wordless books worth checking out: Welcome to Mamoko (by Aleksandra & Daniel Mizielińscy) and Journey (by Aaron Becker @storybreathing.bsky.social).
